Acer Aspire blank screen

My Aspire 5315-2153 has developed "blank screen" syndrome. Symptoms:
1. Shows "Acer" screen on startup
2. Shows Windows startup bar
3. Screen goes blank with active cursor
4. Same in both normal and safe modes
5. Same with internala nd external displays
6. Disk lite on continuously, but disk actually runs intermittantly.
Had an unsolicited "virus scan" before failure. Could be a serious virus my antivirus didn't catch. Any thoughts? Thanks Phil

Screen lights pure white. When connected to external monitor screen shows Windows startup for about ten seconds, then goes blank.
Possible failure of the display drivers/ the hardware in the section of the motherboard. Since the fault is confirmed with the external display the motherboard needs a probe and you might need help to get a consensus.
I don't think a re installation can do any good as you are not able to get the OS on screen display.

My Acer Aspire 4720Z does not boot anymore it shows a blue screen which sends me to launch startup repair. it does this repeatedly. Please help.
If you get a blue screen that usually means windows has a problem but the laptop itself is fine. You may need to reinstall or restore windows and it should be fine. Annoying but fine.

Booting problem
You may have to boot from a CD and make a repair.
Once logged in the CD, choose repair option (Recovery Console), and type these three commands:
1) fixmbr (wait til it finishes)
2) fixboot (wait...)
3) CHKDSK (this will take longer than the previous two.
Your laptop may now boot normally. I think your laptop doesn't have an internal CD-ROM so you may use an external USB CD.

Acer Aspire 5100 will not start right
It seems your hard drive has corupted.
This sucks, all you have to do is push ALT F10 and then go through the reseting menu, you will loose everything on there though except the original data.
